Additional Information
Explore the city with the fervor of a local resident. With the flexibility of your own itinerary, you can personalize your tour or leave the decision to the local for a comprehensive look into the city’s life. Make your travel journey about the individuals you encounter rather than just the landmarks you visit. With our pedestrian tours, you’ll bypass the usual historical tours and experience the city from a local’s perspective. Enjoy a tour that will alter the way you travel, focusing just as much on the individuals you encounter as the sites you visit. Our local hosts (Lokafyers) are enthusiastic about their hometown and eager to impart their knowledge and views. As Lokafyers aren’t professional tour guides and only offer tours occasionally, they provide an authentic and personal experience, similar to a friend guiding you around their city. By the culmination of the tour, you’ll be familiar with maneuvering the city and confident in having all the vital information for maximizing your visit.

Wonderful introduction to beautiful Vienna! - We met Marietta at the Chattanooga restaurant. She greeted me like a long lost brother! Marietta led the 3 of us all over the central parts of the city for 2 & 1/2 hours. She encouraged us to ask questions, & shared many insights & experiences from her years growing up in Vienna. The fact that she had lived in the U.S. for 10 years gave her a broader perspective of Austria & its history. Marietta took us into Demel, a restaurant famous for Kaiser Schmarrn, an amazing dessert described as “scrambled pancakes”, served with plum compote: we watched it being cooked, & made a note to return later to enjoy, which we did more than once! Marietta is a lovely, bubbly lady. She took photos of us at various places, & shared them via WhatsApp, so we didn’t have to take selfies. She also sent us a generous list of suggestions for coffee houses , cafes,, & restaurants that were highly recommended, or near our Airbnb. Danke schon, Marietta 😊🤗😊

Must do! - Our group of 6 loved David! He was funny, very knowledgeable and down to earth. He made sure our requests were included in the private tour and even took us into a local neighborhood market and grocery store to buy local items including chocolate and candy. The 3 hours went way too fast!

Whistle stop tour of the city - Seeing monuments of the great composers with the help of a very friendly guide.
Going into St. Stephen’s cathedral and St. Peters was a moving experience.

See Vienna through the eyes of a local - We had the best time with Felix. I cannot recommend this enough. Felix was informed, funny, (loved his sense of humour) and very obviously keen to show us a side of Vienna that is maybe a a bit less touristy. His knowledge of Vienna is excellent, keen to answer any questions we had and to share some some his extensive yet sometimes quirky knowledge about the city. One in particular were the symbols on St Stephen's Cathedral.
The time absolutely flew by and I can honestly say that this was a great tour, giving us a brilliant start to our visit to Vienna. Felix gave us lots of recommendations based on what we liked to do and they top notch. Thank you Felix for a great tour and for giving us a great start to our trip. 😃

Could have been better - The guide changed the starting time to later and then was still 20 minutes late. We asked to meet at our hotel. He asked to meet a distance from there. The focus was wholly on free churches and exteriors. It was quite cold and windy. When asked if we could step inside add hear his information out of the wind, we were blamed for causing a disruption to the flow and getting things messed up. Knowledge of Austrian history was very shallow. We paid for his coffee, he stopped to get lunch as he skipped breakfast. He tried to sell other activities to buy from his friends and extend the tour for more money. Other similar tours have been great. This was not.
There were some facts that we found very interesting to learn but on the whole, it was a very thin veneer and not worth the cost.
